I don't believe in God, but I hate Jared Kushner enough that I still pray every night that he gets eaten by a bear.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Why do that to a bear?

Flesh eating microbes is the way to go for him. They have no feelings. They just eat.

It's a Christian classic. Pray to God, God sends bear, bear mauls fourty-two kids to death, but this time the group of kids is just Jared Kushner.

Wouldn't a plague be a Christian classic too? Like if we have to bring back time of the old ones for a while that would be ok.

Why doesn't anyone ever think about the poor microbes?

A strong acid would do just as good a job without having to involve any lifeforms.

100% scumbag

I say his kidneys could be very valuable.

He's really giving Victorian-era feeble, consumptive, bedridden child.

Don't know who this guy is but he looks like a particularly wet Michael Gove

Kushner and his rich friends want to pillage Gaza for its oil, after an ethnic cleansing forcing out all the native Palestinians into the desert. Most normal Israelis would never see a dime from this operation, it’s just a land and money grab by the elites. Truly disgusting, and he’s rubbing it in our faces in broad daylight, platformed by the university to which his daddy bought him admittance. Gross.

This just in: man who got more than $2bil from a genocidal dictatorship says genocidal dictator things. More at 11

He said it in his meek, tiny, high-pitched voice.

Maybe we can also cook all those starved children for you and your buddies, if you get a little peckish.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Jared Kushner has praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip.

The former property dealer, married to Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, made the comments in an interview at Harvard University on 8 March.

His remarks at Harvard gave a hint of the kind of Middle East policy that could be pursued in the event that Trump returns to the White House, including a search for a normalisation deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel.

“Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner told his interviewer, Harvard’s Middle East Initiative faculty chair, Prof Tarek Masoud.

Asked by Masoud about fears on the part of Arabs in the region that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, would not allow Palestinians who flee Gaza to return, Kushner paused and then said: “Maybe.”

Responding to a question about whether the Palestinians should have their own state, Kushner described the proposal as “a super bad idea” that “would essentially be rewarding an act of terror”.

I mean, in all fairness, the Biden admin is actively aiding in this genocide. It doesn’t mean we can let trump be president. But we also can’t deny that Biden is very much pro Israel—but so is all of the establishment US. It’s the country that’s in bed with Israel.

Vote for Biden, vote for democrats. Because republicans are an active and vicious threat to far more than just Palestinians. They can’t be allowed to get their grubby fingers back on the levers of power. We can’t take more of their judges. They are one of the most dangerous groups for the future of the world. We cannot survive Republican climate policy.

This does not mean democrats are good on every single thing the republicans are terrible for. It’s shitty to have to vote for them because they are complicit in a lot of the major issues we face. But it’s necessary.

Nuance matters. Things aren’t as simple or black and white as people who love shouting their politics from behind a screen make them out to be. But republicans, especially with trump at the front of the party, cannot be allowed back in. Under any circumstances. But that doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge that Joe Biden is complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Because it’d be dishonest to ignore it. It sucks, but we still need to vote for that asshole.

You know if you had more political parties you would have more choice for whom to vote, but your political system is hardly democratic in my opinion.

Not to mention that democracy should defend their voter's rights and not mega corporations rights.

Kushner is one of the reasons I wish hell was real.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

And the Democrats are doing everything to ~~stop that from being~~ make that a reality

[–] moe93@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Why do I get the urge to punch him every time I see his face? So weird.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Silver linings and all that 🥴

[–] das_monk@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

And 30 years from now he'll be elected president..
